Repulsor Blast
Fires a nanotech pulse blast forward. Fires in a straight line and can be shot repeatedly.
- Reliable poke tool.
- Pairs well with flight for angled shots.
Iron Man
A flying duelist who pressures enemies from mid-range with armor mode flexibility.
Also known as: tony stark, stark, tony
Quick Overview
Iron Man is a highly mobile duelist who thrives at mid-range. His armor modes let him switch between sustained beam damage and burst projectiles, and his flight gives him angles most duelists cannot contest.
Position around cover and abuse his flight to pressure enemies who lack hitscan. Save the Invincible Pulse Cannon for fights where the enemy team is grouped or when you need to force the point.
Abilities
Unibeam
Fires a concentrated energy beam. Beam damage increases over time, melting static targets.
- Excellent against shields and stationary targets.
- Keep tracking the target while firing.
Hyper-Velocity
Activates a fast flight mode, granting quick repositioning and aerial mobility.
- Use it to escape dives or take high angles.
Invincible Pulse Cannon
Fires a devastating pulse cannon in a straight line, dealing massive damage to all enemies hit.
- Best used on grouped enemies or to burst a key target.
- Can be fired while flying.
Armor Overdrive
Grants bonus health when activating Hyper-Velocity, allowing Iron Man to survive aggressive flanks.
Gamma Overdrive
Team-Up with Hulk. Hulk charges Iron Man with gamma radiation, granting a powered-up armor state with enhanced damage.
Combos
Steps
- 1Activate Hyper-Velocity to gain height.
- 2Hold the Unibeam on a key target.
- 3Disengage behind cover before the flight window ends.
When to Use
Use during neutral fights to pressure healers and backline targets.
Using flight to take off-angles makes your beam difficult to avoid while keeping you mobile.
Steps
- 1Look for a grouped enemy team.
- 2Announce or coordinate an engage.
- 3Fire the Invincible Pulse Cannon down the main sightline.
- 4Follow up with Repulsor Blasts on survivors.
When to Use
Use when the enemy team is stacked on the objective.
The pulse cannon forces the enemy team to split, and the follow-up damage punishes whoever is caught out.

Anti-AirRange
Why
- Hela can maintain consistent ranged pressure against Iron Man while he occupies open aerial space.
- Hitscan projectiles ignore Iron Man mobility when he flies without cover.
How to Counter
- Maintain long sightlines and pressure Iron Man when he leaves cover.
- Track his flight path and punish landing or recharging windows.
Counterplay
- Iron Man should use vertical cover and avoid prolonged open-air exposure.
- Engage Hela only with Hyper-Velocity off cooldown as an escape.
This is one of the most lopsided matchups in the game. Hela's hitscan kit directly denies Iron Man's flight patterns.
Strong Against
No strong matchups recorded yet.
Team-Ups
Gamma Overdrive (Hulk)
Hulk grants Iron Man a gamma-charged armor state that boosts his damage output for a short time.
General Tips
- Stay at mid-range: too close and dives punish you, too far and your beam pressure drops.
- Use flight to peek over walls that block ground duelists.
- Pulse cannon can clear a contested objective instantly.
